Not kind of a context I'd like to be associated with a cryptocurrency, though. Privacy is great, but I'd rather prefer people of thinking of that property associated with buying online porn (or whatever legal) than paying online ransoms.
That's analogous to saying, "For better or worse, you can look at Robinhood's stock price as an options contract on future insider trading." It's meaningless unless you consider wild west financial speculation and traders as criminal activity.
